Clematis

These lovely clematis grow at the front of my house, on the left hand corner if you’re facing the house, and the flowers wrap around the side of the house.

I didn’t realize when I took this photo that our Canadian flag would show up in the photo, nor would I ever have thought that it would make such a lovely background. I was quite pleased when I spied the flag in the photo.

Have you ever been concentrating on taking a photo of someone or something and then discovered that was was in the background was almost as interesting as the intended subject? I love it when that happens.





Cutest ankle biter ever

Wordless Wednesday

Now isn’t that the cutest little ankle bitter that you’ve ever seen?

Can you imagine working with bears and bear cubs? I’d love to be able to work with young wild animals. I’m not sure how I’d feel about it once they grew up and became more dangerous though!

Lovely Nova Zembla Rhododendron

Rhododendrons are one of the plants that I think of when I think of spring. The photo above is a picture of my one and only Rhododendron Nova Zembla. I took this photo last May when the buds were just about to bloom.

The flowers of Nova Zembla are a beautiful shade of red that contains a hint of purple. There’s a pattern on the delicate small flowers as well. This plant is just lovely when it’s branches are bursting with blooms.

I wish it’s blooming season was longer, but I’d say that I get close to a month of blooms out of my Rhododendron each season unless it becomes too hot too fast!

I’m fairly certain that my Rhodo will do well this year as it’s had a nice protective cover of snow over most of the winter.

I also have two Azalea trees. They’re still on the small side and don’t bloom anywhere near as profusely as the Rhododendron, but they too are quite lovely.

Do you grow Rhododendrons or Azaleas?

Now I’m off to Orovo to get some supplies. I need to build my muscles if I’m going to have to keep shoveling all this never ending snow!

Satellite City!

by

Well I missed Wordless Wednesday when my migraine took me out of commission in the middle of the week so I won’t called this a WW post, but it is time for a photo.

Look at all those satellite dishes! I have no idea where this photo was taken, but they obviously don’t have cable there!

Have you ever seen so many satellite dishes in one place? Any clue as to where this might be?

Fun with puppy

by

The other day I found the bandanna that had been given to our puppy when we had her groomed in January.

Just for fun I put it around her neck and I was surprised that she didn’t try to get it off. She walked around with it on, looking totally adorable, for at least an hour before it started to loosen from around her neck.

When I took it off I decided to put it on her head around her ears. You know, like a scarf around her head. Again she surprised me by not trying to get it off. She looked like a little old lady … very similar to a couple of my elderly Greek/ Macedonian neighbors! We’d just treated Midnights eyes with an antibiotic eye ointment and it kind of makes her eyes look greasy or teary and of course that only enhance the funny look of the bandanna scarf around her head.

I guess we’re lucky that our pup puts up with us and the silly things we do to her.

The photos are still on my camera. I’ll work on them later today and post one or two. I’m sure you’ll find them funny.
